Louisville Times: While McKen-
zie was making his uproariously fun
ny speech in answer to Taulbee, Car
Isle was full of laughter, but the
only show Of it was a slight trem-
bling Of his shoulders and an occa-
slonal conyuislve twitch Of his strong
features.
For the first time in the history OF
the country, Massachusetts Demo
crat addressed a Kentucky audience.
He talked like d Democrat, too, and
recalled the time when w w. Eaton,
of Connecticut, stumped Kentucky
for John G. Breckenridge in 1860.
The work of our convention will
cheer the hearts of Democrats all over
the land. 1t is the first gun of 1884,
and its echo is but the re-echo of '76,
proclaiming that man is free and
that there is a limit to the expressions
of misrule.

WASHINGTON, [ SpecidI.] = The
Courier-Journal with Its splendid re-
ports of the Democratic State Con-
vention was largely sought here by
Kentuckians in and out of depart
ments. The platform adopted Is
voted on all sides to be the best and
most pronounced political paper is
sued since the platform of the Ma
tional Democracy adopted in 1876.
The plank relating to the President
and the one on the civil-service ques-
ton are warmly commended, and
Frank Hurd is enthusiastic over the
admirable and forcible language used
in regard to the great question Of
! t riff reform.

Nashville American: The Dem.
ocracy of Kentucky has gone
Democratic. Its platform was
ringing enunciation of Democratic
issues, with no uncertainty in the
sound. The addresses of the speak
ers were statesmanlike and sound and
the nominee for Governor is worthy
OF the Democracy which put him in
the field. Democratic victories are
won upon such clear and outspoken
declarations of Democratic principles
as those set forth by the Democracy
of Kentucky.

DEMOCRACY.

The State Convention Of the Ken
lucky Democracy held in Louisville
on the 4th instant and over which
Hon. John G.. Carlisle presided
adopted platform which will meet
the hearty approval of all Democrats
whether in th-North or South.
1t enunciates the same principles
upon which the Democracy elected
Mr.. Cleveland and apon which alone
we can expect to wifs in the next con-
test for the presidency, Mr.. Carlisle
is representative Democrat and he
uses this lasguage: "a
I Political parties are not formed
upon local or State issues, but uDop
general questfsns affecting the inter-
ests of the Whole country, and upon
these questions 81 is the duty of the
Democrats of Kentucky to speak
their sentiments isa order that their
brethren everywhere may know
where they stand. Fortunately our
organization is not confined to any
one section ofthe country; our creed
is not affected by degrees of latitude
or longitude. 1t is not necessary for
a Kentucky Democrat when he visits
the North or East, or for a Northern
or Eastern Democrat when he visits
Kentucky, to disguise his opinions
or apologize fol them. What he is
at home he is ey erywhere. ~ ..,.4
He further sayA';r @f ~
The Democrat ic party stands
pledged in the mos { solemn manner
to revise the tariff, reduce the reve-
nue. and Tighten the bnrdensi of the
people. Upon this pledge, clearly
ana distinctly made, III appealeda to1
The people in 1875 and s, >cured po,ssI

Wheat.
nent.


The Immediate question with far.
mers row is: "What is the price of
wheat ?" Last week rs cents was
offered in Trenton. 1t is worth about
80 cents in Guthrie, and in Clarks-
vile to-day it is worth so cents.
The farmers of this county, Todd,
Christian, Logan and Robertson
ought to get a good price for their
wheat crop which will soon be
harvested, and judging from present
prospects and crop reports the mar
ket will open at good prices.
The reduced rate heretofore given
on wheat shipped from the far West
to Southern points such as Atlanta
has been ruinous to the wheat raisers
along the line Of the railroad be-
tween Henderson and Nashville and
while Others are applying to the
commissioners for relief the farmers
should have this matter presented
by a delegation. Fair competition
is well enough but unjust discrimina-
ton should never be permitted.
GAINESVILLE is interested in securing
